Shocktober 2024: Dracula’s Dog aka Zoltan… Hound of Dracula (Albert Band, 1977)
This movie poses an important question: WHAT IF DRACULA BUT DOG? Romanian soldiers uncover a tomb in Griffith Park, erm, I mean the Transylvanian countryside. Turns out it’s the Dracula family plot! The place gives the sergeant the creeps so… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: Spasms (William Fruet, 1983)
Millionaire philanthropist and big-game hunter Jason Kincaid (great name) is obsessed with a giant venomous snake, ever since his brother got killed by the creature during a hunting trip to Micronesia. Kincaid was also attacked, and survived, miraculously — but… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: I Saw the TV Glow (Jane Schoenbrun, 2024)
Beautifully shot, fuzzy, moody, horror-adjacent psychological drama with atmosphere to spare. The film is written as a trans allegory about two teen loners who become friends and bond over a Buffy-style TV show, but on the surface it’s also a pitch-perfect… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: The Dead One (Barry Mahon, 1961)
This turned out to be a much needed palate cleanser after yesterday’s gore fest: a low-budget zombie movie starring a bunch of nobodies (with respect), featuring only mild scares and no blood to speak of. Newly married John returns with… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: Terrifier 2 (Damien Leone, 2022)
One of my favorite characters in the Scharpling & Wurster comedic universe is filmmaker Trent L. Strauss, a sleazy horror director (‘extreme cinema’, he insists) responsible for such reprehensible trash as Face Peelers 1-6, Entrails 2: The Gouging, The Hacksawist, You’re Soaking in Her, Pukeadelphia and The… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: Nightmare Beach (Umberto Lenzi, Harry Kirkpatrick, 1989)
What if a demented killer is sent to the chair for his crimes but vows to return from the dead to wreak havoc on the world — and that world happens to be a beach community in Florida during spring… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: A Page of Madness (Teinosuke Kinugasa, 1926)
Dreamlike, Japanese psycho-horror-drama mostly set in a mental institution, where terror and chaos are never far away. An elderly man — possibly a former staff member? — tries to save a female patient who is plagued by psychoses. But how… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher (Ray Dennis Steckler, 1979)
Another piece of sleaze from Ray Dennis Steckler? Do go on! Readers might remember how Shocktober 2023 all of a sudden became very Steckler-centric for me. And here he is already, at entry number three. This grimy, virtually dialogue-free slasher-thriller is… Läs mer
-
Shocktober 2024: The Bat Whispers (Roland West, 1930)
The first ten minutes of this pre-code thriller are amazing. We are launched, in media res, into a riveting caper — wildly imaginative, visually dazzling — following the masked criminal ‘The Bat’ as he steals precious jewels from the city’s upper… Läs mer

Shocktober 2024: The She Beast aka Revenge of the Blood Beast (Michael Reeves, 1966)
TRANSYLVANIA-TODAY. When a newly married British couple arrive at an inn in the middle of the Transylvanian countryside (as you do), their mere presence awakens a fiend from the past, and the village is once again subjected to terror from… Läs mer
